Most Read Patent Blogs

Posted on February 19, 2009 by R. David Donoghue

IPWatchdog Gene Quinn recently published his list of the top 26 patent blogs, based upon Technorati rankings (Quinn only considered blogs in the top 1M of the Technorati rankings) -- click here to read Quinn's post.  Quinn manually determined which blogs counted as patent blogs, and did nice work.  Although I would add the IP ADR Blog to the list.  While I do not place much weight in blog rangings, the list identified a few new blogs that I plan to follow, and it is gratifying to see that the Chicago IP Litigation Blog has a strong reader base in the patent world.

Here are Quinn's rankings:

  1. Patently-O - Technorati Rank 21,202
  2. Patent Baristas - Technorati Rank 61,134

IP-Centric Blawg Review

Posted on November 13, 2008 by R. David Donoghue

This week's Blawg Review #185 is up at Duncan Bucknell's IP Think Tank -- click here to read it.  It will be no surprise to Bucknell's readers (including me) that his theme is global intellectual property.  Of course, Bucknell focuses on the Bilski decision -- for example, IP Blawg and IP Spotlight.  Bucknell also looks at some posts regarding how the changing administration will impact IP law, including two posts from Patent Docs (click here and here) and the IAM Blog.
